Also, I plan to overclock the cpu, would this require a bigger psu? I am new to building and overclocking and also with that GTS it would really need 200watts (700 total) more to run it safely?

OCing will increase the need of power. Just get the OCZ GameXStream 700W. Best bang for the buck.

Agreed.
Looks good too.
But looks are just a bonus.

Looks aren't everything. But in this situation, we can bend that rule a bit
